Cinnamon Rolls with Gingerbread Cream Cheese Frosting

Christmas is right around the corner and the recipes for cookies and gingerbread will be flooding out Pinterest feeds soon, so I wanted to think a little outside the box and came up with these easy to make Cinnamon Rolls with Gingerbread Cream Cheese Frosting.

I know that’s a mouthful but trust me, they’re so easy. You’ll have these cinnamon rolls done from prep to oven in less than 25 minutes. The secret ingredients in these new favorite Christmas desserts are the crescent rolls. A few months ago I was inspired by Stacie’s Mini Rum Butter Cinnamon Rolls and created my own Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls over on The Bewitchin’ Kitchen.

There are so many things you can do with crescent rolls. I’ve made hand pies, turnovers, and cinnamon rolls. All you have to do is simply pinch together the seams, lay out the melted butter and pack on the cinnamon mixture. (PS – the leftover cinnamon mixture makes a really nice hand scrub after, like this Chocolate Sugar Scrub).

Seriously, can it get any easier than that? Not only is this recipe easy, but it’s fast. It’s ready in under 25 minutes, so it’s perfect for surprise guests “popping in” around the holidays.

The gingerbread cream cheese frosting is my recipe for Gingerbread Dessert Dip (from The Bewitchin’ Kitchen) but cut in half. I knew it would work beautifully for these cinnamon rolls and I was right.

These cinnamon rolls are so easy to put together. Crescent rolls, butter, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon is all the makes up the rolls themselves and the gingerbread cream cheese frosting recipe is a creamy, holiday infused topping. If you want to add a little extra gingerbread to the recipe, you can sprinkle crushed gingerbread over top of the frosting.
